Canon 60D work flow

I have just purchased the Canon 60d and would like some advice on editing work flow. Right now I have not upgraded to fcp 7. Would this make a difference when using the tape-less workflow? How about a RAM recommendation for DSLR HD editing? Any other advice that might help me ease into editing footage from this camera.
Thanks

FCP 7 will give you more options with ProRes. Proxy, LQ, 4444 in addition to SQ and HQ available in FCP 6.
Be sure to copy the entire card to your hard drive when transfering your content.
Don't edit the native H264 files, convert to ProRes LQ or SQ is good enough.
RAM isn't an issue so long as you have a minimum of 4Gb, (all that FCP can access) add more if you run a number apps at once.

    I had the same problem. I make my AF work going to Menu / AF mode and selected Live mode. On Quick mode the AF did not work. I change the settings without realise it. Now my AF is working fine.

  • A Good Work Flow For FCP 5.0 using Canon's HV20

    I am using FCP 5.0 on an intel iMac, 1.8ghz, 1gig of RAM, running FCP 5.0
    I'd like advice on a good work flow in terms of the proper project settings,
    capture settings, and compressor settings for a good burn to DVD.
    I use the 24p element on the HV20, but I am not really interested in editing native
    as I won't be going back to film, just DVD.
    Pointers anyone?

    There's this:

    And this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306389
    But yeah, you have to get FCP 6. 5.1 was only released to those who shipped off their 5.0 disks, so finding copies for sale will be tough. And FCP 5 was BARELY into HDV editing...forget 24p. You need to get a later version of the software.

  • Can Canon 60D raw files work on Photoshop cs4, PowerPC G5?

    So I recently got a Canon 60D for photo and video, but I can't seem to find a program that will read the 60D RAW files that is also compatible with PowerPC. Help! I am running photoshop CS4, the camera raw updates aren't compatible with PowerPC. The newest adobe DNG converter (6.5) isn't compatible with PowerPC, and the older DNG converter (4.4) that came with my 30D won't read 60D raw files. Is there anything that has a universal binary (PowerPC compatible) and will read 60D files? I really don't want to have to take my photos to another computer just to convert them. Thanks!

    You may be in luck:
    The 60D is from late 2010 and is only supported by Camera Raw/DNG Converter 6.2 or later.
    According to this page, 6.4 was the last version to run on a PowerPC:

  • Canon 60D not recognized by iMac

    My early 2013 iMac 27" running Mavericks does not recognize my Canon 60D when plugged in via USB.
    I've tried Image Capture, iPhoto, Lightroom. Nothing will recognize it. I've also tried plugging via USB hub and straight into a USB port of the iMac. Even tried different USB cables. No luck.
    I also have a late 2008 MBP running Mavericks and it reads my camera just fine when plugged in via USB.
    I know I can just use a card reader, but that's not the issue here. Why does my MBP read the camera just fine but iMac doesn't? It was working fine last week and out of nowhere it just stopped working. I'm baffled.

                                                                                                                        2014.06.15
    Some questions and suugestions.
    When did it stop functioning ?  If it works on another computer, you at least know that the Canon is OK.
    So the Canon works, leaving the iMac as the most likely culprit, but I think you may be looking in the
    wrong direction. Go to the Canon web site and see if they have a later driver than what's in your iMac.
    I would also send separate emails to Canon and to Apple. I'm sure that both would be interested.
                   I hope that this may be of some use to you; when any product fails to function, its' usually 
    driver related. Other than that, take two asperins and call yourself in the morning.    ( lame, but I couldn't resist )

  • All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

    I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro.  I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
    I have tried:
    1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
    2). Changing the frame rate
    3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
    Among many others.  The above methods didn't work.
    I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
    Two things though....
    1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
    2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
    HELP!!  I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now.  Help, PLEASE. 

    If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive  ~ 20% would be good.  What are your system specs?
    Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

  • Canon FD 50mm 1.8 Lens Profile for Canon 60D

    I've created a lens profile today for the Canon FD 50mm 1.8 on a Canon 60D using the Fotodiox adapter.  I sent it to Adobe for posting publicly.   If anyone would like to download it in the meantime you can find it here:
    Please click this link
    I might have messed it up.  It's my first time creating a profile and seemed to work fine for me in Lightroom.  Let me know if there are any improvements to be made. I used f5.6 since that seemed to be the sweet spot on the lens and the imager was about 5 feet from the chart.

    JPG lens profiles are distinct from RAW lens profiles because cameras can fix things with the camera-produced JPGs that the lens profiles also fix and you can get double-corrections by using a raw lens profile with a jpg, but it depends on the capabilities and settings of the particular camera.
    If you are sure your camera isn’t correcting geometric and vignetting issues with your JPGs, then you can hack the lens profile you downloaded to use it with JPGs, by editing the .lcp file with a text editor and change the flag indicating it is for raw files from True to False.  I forget what this flag is called, exactly, but it is obvious and near the top of the files.
    On Windows, the lens profiles are downloaded to:
    C:\Users\--username--\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
    AppData is a hidden or system folder so you’ll need to unhide such folders in the folder options in Explorer or just type in the path an hit Enter in the address area of Explorer.

  • Canon 60D - RAW files not opening

    I have recently taken pictures with a Canon 60D and i am unable to open the raw files in ACR.
    I am running PS CS5 and have ACR 6.7.
    I have read forums which say that the 60D require 6.2 and yet i am still unable to view the files.
    Other applications as the Digital Photo Professional open them fine when i have downloaded the drivers for that camera.
    Can any one help?

    The raw file you posted is not corrupt; however, it is from a 650D which wasn’t supported in ACR 6.7.  See screen capture, below.
    Do you have a 60D file that doesn’t work that you can post?
    You could convert the 650D raw files to DNGs to process them in CS5/ACR 6.7, or upgrade to CS6/ACR 8.1 for $200, or subscribe to the creative cloud single-app, or perhaps expierment with Lightroom, with the longest timeframe would be available with LR 5.2 RC that expires Sept 30.

  • Reading Canon 60d raw files with PS CS3

    I'm using PC CS3. I have a new Canon 60d, but neither the browser or the raw converter will recognize these files. Is there a way I can update my current PS, or the browser, or raw converter versions to recognize these? Another option would be to install the latest DNG converter, but this adds an extra file conversion step.  (This is at work, and they are not buying me an upgrade to latest PS, which I assume would fix the problem.)
    Any suggestions? Thanks, David

    The latest raw converter updates only work with the latest Photoshop.
    So...  You have two avenues you can go down:
    1.  For the ultimate in convenience and integration, you can upgrade to Photoshop CS5.  That doesn't sound like it's in the cards for you.
    2.  You can get the free Adobe DNG converter, which will convert your 60D raw files to standard format DNG files, which in turn Photoshop CS3 can open.

    The DNG converter does indeed require an extra step, but it's really not difficult to use.

  • EF-S 10-22mm Canon not working in AF correct

    My EF-S 10-22mm Canon lens in AF mode is mostly taking out of focus pictures. I tried the basic clean the post but still keeps center of image out of focus. All my other AF lens work fine. Base is a Canon 60D. I have had lens new for about 5 years with no issues until now.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!

    "My son brought over his Canon and the lens worked better..."
    What does "better" mean?  Either it worked or it didn't.  If it is still screwed up, even a little, there is something wrong with the lens.  If it worked it is your camera.

  • I have a canon 60D and I'm trying to view images on the Ipad using the sd reader but no luck. Any help or ideas?

    I have a Canon 60D and I am unable to view or transfer photos to the Ipad using the SD Card reader. I have been able to view images with a Canon T3i. Are there certain settings I need to set on the 60d or should it work automatically? anythoughts or ideas? thanks

    Are the photo's you're trying to view/download in Raw?  I've had difficulty downloading Raw files, but have had no issues downloading JPEG files. Also, check a setting in your Canon, called communication.  From what I've read (I'm a Nikon D5100 guy myself), communication needs to be set to PTP, not normal.  I'm not sure how that will help if the pictures are already encoded?
    Well scratch what I've written.  I just googled the 60D and supposedly, JPEG and Raw are supposed to transfer through the SD card reader easily.  So, I'm clueless.  Sorry.......

  • Photoshop Elements 12 not recognizing my Canon 60D on an iMac

    Hello,
    My Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer will not recognize my Canon 60D device on my iMac.  I will only sporadically recognize and download photos from my cameras (a Canon 60D, a Canon Rebel xti, and a Canon Elph).  I NEVER had this problem with my PC.  I know it is not the AV cord since the iMac photo download program recognizes them just fine when it is plugged in, so it has to be the softward.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have never had any issues with Premiere (Pro, or Elements) seeing my Canon ZR60.
    A couple of things to think about:
    Though Windows seems to be seeing your camera (you get the Bing-Bong, when you turn it on, right?), if you have Win7-64, you might want to check out this ARTICLE.
    When you launch the Capture module in PrE, is the camera connected, turned on, and in playback mode? Though I have never had an issue with Capture, I have a slightly different model. Some users have found that the order that they do things can be important, depending on the camera. For some, connecting the camera, turning it on, and setting the playback mode, BEFORE either launching Premiere, and then launching the Capture module works best. For others, they have found that the program and Capture module need to be launched, before the connected camera is turned on, and placed into playback mode. The order can affect how things work.
    Good luck,

  • Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Canon 60D

    Early 2008 iMac, 4GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.56 (910.29), Canon 60D. Downloaded images/thumbnails from camera via cable, card reader or backup hard drive are partially to fully blacked out in iPhoto. This does not happen with cable down load to MacAir or on iMac with older Canon camera. Have formatted and changed memory card in camera, reinstalled Yosemite and iPhoto to no avail. I need iPhoto to work seamlessly with my camera the way it used to or find an alternative. No work arounds, please. I can do that. I'd like my system and software to work the way it's supposed to work. Thank you.

    Which version of the RAW support do you have installed?
    If the problem directly started after installing the latest RAW support, try reinstall the RAW support by downloading it from Apple's download page.
    That helped in similar cases, e.g.: Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
    Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
    To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
    To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
    If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
    The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
    To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
    Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G  (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder")  and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
    In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
    Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
    Then restart your Mac.
